two fingers of his night hand very badly
DR.. Keller rendered the necessary sur

Page Courier The dwelling of Mrs.
Asher Rickard. situated near Kimball, in
this county, was destroyed by fire last
Tuesday morning. The fire occurred
about o'clock, and originated, ii is be-
leved. from defective fue. The dwell
ing was very large frame building,
worth, perhaps, about $1,000 Mrs. r. and
her sons, who live with her succeeded,
we are glad TO learn, in saving nearly all
their household property. Tho morning
was very dry and cold, and the wind blew
perfect gale, making the work OF de-
I siruction very rapid. There was no in
/ surance, we regret 10 learn, upon the
property, and It is another costly warning
of the folly OF people neglecting such
protection
Stanton Spectator: Mr.. J. 3. Roller, Of
Mt. Crawford, owns and works every day
in his team, a horse % years old Mr.. K
bought the horse in 1861, and he was then
ten wears old. lie is n dark bay, Of aver
age size. His general appearance il some
what disGgured, having lost an eye and
received "U 81 brand during the, "lai'
unpleasantness." lie is in good order and
eats well. We think this old veteran
should be put on the retired list with
pension of oats, as he has attained such an
extreme age for a horse.....The sale 81
the Rockbridge Alnm Springs property
made last May to Mr.. Granville Campbell
and others and confirmed by Judge Kcitl
at a special term Of the Augusta Circuit
Court, was before the Supreme Court O
Appeals on an appeal by James A. Frazier
The decision was rendered last week, The
higher court affirming the proceedings by
which the sale was made to Campbell.
